Materials

High-Quality. Natural. Eco-friendly.

At Solveig Lilja Jewellery, quality and sustainability are at the heart of everything we do. We are deeply committed to using only the finest materials, ensuring that every piece is crafted to the highest standards and made to last.

Transparency is a core value for us—we want you to feel confident knowing exactly what your jewellery is made of. We prioritise sustainable practices by using recycled silver wherever possible and carefully selecting premium metals and beads from trusted suppliers within the jewellery industry.

As a small business, we also take pride in supporting other independent businesses, ensuring that each step of our process aligns with our values of integrity, quality, and environmental responsibility.

Sterling Silver Findings

All findings are crafted from high-quality sterling silver (99.25%). This commitment to using only premium materials ensures that each piece is not only hypoallergenic but also durable and made to last.

Silver Clay

All our silver items are crafted using silver clay—a material composed of fine silver particles combined with an organic binder and water. This mixture gives it a clay-like texture that can be moulded, rolled, and shaped by hand. During firing, the binder burns away, allowing the silver particles to fuse and form a solid piece of pure silver.

Freshwater Pearls

Freshwater pearl beads bring a timeless elegance to every piece of jewellery. Grown in freshwater lakes and rivers, these pearls are treasures of nature—each one uniquely shaped by its environment. Their gentle lustre and organic charm make them a perfect reflection of nature’s artistry within our designs.

Beads and Gemstones

Most of the beads in our jewellery designs are thoughtfully selected from natural materials, including genuine rocks and gemstones. Each piece reflects the colours, textures, and tones of the changing seasons, capturing the essence of the natural world that inspires every collection.

Seed Beads

Preciosa PermaLux Seed Beads are a premium variety of seed beads, distinguished by their vibrant, long-lasting color and elegant semi-matte finish. These beads are coated using a water-based, ecological dye that ensures excellent resistance to water and alcohol.

Lava Beads

Lava beads are crafted from basalt, an igneous rock formed through volcanic eruptions. Thanks to their porous nature, lava stones can also serve as natural diffusers. Apply 1–2 drops of your favourite essential oil directly onto the bead. The scent is gradually released over time, offering hours of calming aromatherapy.
